Just A Dare (Scömìche)

Chapter 10 - Acting Skills

I'm literally such a horrible person. I'm sorry guys. I know for sure that I will update more during summer break. School is just really important, so writing is hard. I hope that you guys don't totally hate me, because I love all of you who even bother to click on this. <3

Scott's POV

   I smile in relief when Mitch accepts my offer. That smile is just to cover up the smirk that's threatening to show.

   What the small brunette boy doesn't know, is that most of the emotions he's seen over the past few months have been fake. Well, sometimes I actually have fun with him, but I've now made it clear to myself that this is a hump-and-dump situation.

   I've also learned that I'm an amazing actor. Avi even thought that I really liked him, which it exactly what I want.

   Mitch smiles at me and gently pecks my cheek. I make myself blush a little and he giggles. "You have no idea how happy you just made me." I say with a soft chuckle and gently fix his hair.

   He blushes and I hold back another smirk. "Wanna go on one of those dates you promised me?" I ask. He raises a brow. "I never promised shit." He laughs and I laugh with him, my acting on point.

   I still can't help but feel like what I'm doing is wrong. It doesn't matter though, because I'm way to far gone to do anything about it. Even if I wanted to.

Mitch's POV

   I walk into school a week later, going straight to my locker and grabbing my stuff. As I wait for Scott or Kirstie to show up, I hear a message on the intercom.

   Mitchell Grassi, please report to the principles office.

   Being me, I immediately feel scared. Like, what did I do? I'm a good boy, right? I take a shaky breath before walking to the office.

   Whenever I get there, I see the principal smile at me and it calms my nerves slightly. "Hello, Mitchell. Let's go to my office." She says gently and leads me there, letting me sit on the chair in front of her desk.

   I stare at the tall blonde woman in front of me, smiling weakly. "So.. What did you want to talk about, ma'am." I say softly, playing with my fingers.

   She smiles. "You don't need to be so nervous, sweetheart. You aren't in trouble. I actually have good news." When she says this, I calm down immensely.

   Smiling in relief, I ask. "Ok... So, what is it?" She smiles and delivers what is possibly the best news I could've hoped for.

   I squeal. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" I hug her and she laughs. "You're welcome sweetheart. You're just that good, so you deserve it." I giggle and blush, as she hugs back.

   We pull away and she smiles. "You can go now, Mitchell." I smile and nod, repeatedly thanking her as I do so.

   As I walk out, I see Scott waiting for me outside of the office. I smile widely, running up to him and quickly peck him on the lips. "What has you so excited?"  He smiles and laughs, making me giggle.

   Through my excitement, I speak at a pace that nobody can understand me at. "TheprinciplesaidthatIhavethechancetotaketheSATsearlyandIgettograduatethisyearifIpass!" I say in one breath.

   He stares at me with an adorably confused face. "Huh?" He asks and I smile, speaking slower this time. "The principal said that I have the chance to take the SATs early and I get to graduate this year if I pass! Isn't it awesome?!"

Scott's POV

   I smile widely and pick him up, spinning him around. Once I complete the circle, I set him down and kiss his nose, smiling. "Im so proud of you, baby." I say with faux excitement, using the pet name I've been using since we became boyfriends a few days ago.

   While I'm doing all of this, I have one thought running through my head, 'What if I don't have enough time to finish the dare?' I know that I will have to step up my game from this moment on. I don't want this to take up time in summer.

   Mitch's still adorable giggles snap me out of my thoughts. "Thanks, Scottland." He says and the bell rings, so we go to class. All of our morning classes go pretty smooth, as well as our afternoon classes.

   When I walk to my locker and grab my stuff, I get a weird feeling in my stomach. I start walking to Mitch's locker and wait for him to get there, since we were planning on hanging out.

   After a bit, I bite my lip and go to my locker, in case he was waiting for me there. After five minutes of waiting there, I send a 'Where are you?' text and walk out of the school, going to my car.

   I take one final look around the parking lot before I start the car and drive home.

   I had no idea that Mitch was getting his ass beat up by one of my friends. Specifically, Derek.

   Mitch was on the opposite side of the school while I was waiting for him. He was getting a bloody nose and a black eye, just because Derek was jealous of him.

   I just didn't know that.

Mitch's POV

   I let out a pained cry as I feel Derek's fist collide with my stomach. The tears keep rushing down my face as I whimper. "P-please stop.. I-i didn't do anything to you.."

   He looks down at me and rolls his eyes. "Shut up, bitch. If I can't be happy, then you can't either."

   I try to figure out what he means by that, but I don't have time to think before he pushes me down and kicks me in the side, walking away right after. I take a shaky breath as I lay in the dirt.

   Quietly, I whisper to myself. "I want my Scotty..."

Was that ok? I know that my writing got worse. I'm sorry about that. I wrote this and at least it isn't less than a thousand words, right? Anyways, thanks for all of the views and votes! I have 10.6K views and 617 votes! That's crazy! I love you guys. Thanks for not giving up on me. <3
